My first ever Sourdough loaf made with a starter I started on 3rd February. I’m not known for my patience so I’m pretty pleased. Inspired by @rorycj.bsky.social ! And it tastes good too !

Good to pause for an hour today whilst doing the @rspb.bsky.social Big Garden Birdwatch. 47 birds including a grey wagtail. I had to use my Merlin bird app to help me with that one. No long tail tits this year. I imagine now they know I have done the watch they will be back soon😊

Our rare breed Soay tup “Thor” was getting bored with the ewes he is in with, as they are possibly all in lamb (scanning next week). So decided to jump in with last years texel x female lambs. Needless to say we swiftly removed him and he’s now in with the other rams for his 10 month “holiday”.

A new cut of our beef I tried tonight. Beef Skirt ….. seasoned with spices, lightly pan-fried on either side for 4 mins & left to rest. Served in tortilla wraps with home made salsa, cheese, stir fried onions & peppers, sour cream & salad. A very easy, tasty tea/dinner

Meet Bella, Thistle, Kalypso, Tango & Kiwi - our Royal Golden Guernsey goats. For a large proportion of the year they live in the wildflower meadow in front of our shepherd huts & do an amazing job of conservation grazing. Today they came home to spend the next few months inside in the warmth.

Another scenic cold morning in North Yorkshire. Will this be snow tomorrow ? The forecast is constantly changing, but we will be bringing in the Golden Guernsey goats. The cows came in on Friday.
